Re: Tolkien fandom

Eh, to be fair in the book the dwarves really aren't fleshed out, so it's not a surprise people would gravitate to the movie characters because there's more to work with. Characters like Nori still have a lot of areas where people can fill in the blanks. Hobbit fandom is mostly movie based so not surprised people stick to movie characterization. Doesn't bother me, since it's different.

I don't have any issue with people using the movie characterization. I understand that. But I have an issue when the movie gets something fundamentally WRONG about a character. For instance, it explicitly states in UT that Thranduil does not harbor anti-Silvan feelings. That is the exact opposite of who he is.

But that crops up in a lot of fics. Same with Nori being a thief or being poor (or that he and his brothers have different fathers - that idea needs to die in a fire). Most likely, he is of the royal lineage of Durin (only Bofur, Bombur and Bifur are not, and they are likely an honor guard). I agree that he can be fleshed out further but the basis of the character that people are using goes against what Tolkien stated. That he gave so little and still PJ couldn't honor that is very frustrating to those of us who love the books.
